See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller integer be n.
Then the larger integer is n + 2.
"When the smaller integer is added to three times the larger integer, the result is two less than five times the smaller integer."
The correct equation is:
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
His mistake is not using parentheses on the left side. Since he left out the parentheses, the left side is not "the smaller integer added to three times the larger integer", but rather it is "the smaller integer added to 2 plus 3 times the smaller integer."
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
n + 3n + 6 = 5n - 2
4n + 6 = 5n - 2
8 = n
n = 8
n + 2 = 10
The integers are 8 and 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Will bought several books that cost $ 2.50 each and received a $ 2 discount on the total bill. If he paid $ 10.50, how many books did he buy ?
2.50x - 2.00 = 10.50
2.50x = 10.50 + 2.00
2.50x = 12.50
x = 12.50/2.50
x = 5....he bought 5 books
I believe the answer is 764.90. 3% of 700 is 21, then add that to 700- have three percent of that- add it to the 721, find 3% of that, then three percent of that then add that to 700 :)
X =10.
First distribute the 2(2x-14) and get 4x-28.
x+2-4x-28. Subtract x from each side to get 2=3x-28.
Add 28 to both sides to equal 30=3x. Divide each side by 3 to get your final Answer, x=10.
